While we support initializing records via coercion from an expression
list, e.g.,
local x: X = [$x1=1, $x2=2];
this can sometimes obscure the code to readers, e.g., when assigning to
value declared and typed elsewhere. The language runtime has a similar
overhead since instead of just constructing a known type it needs to
check at runtime that the coercion from the expression list is valid;
this can be slower than just writing the readible code in the first
place, see #4559.
With this patch we use explicit construction, e.g.,
local x = X($x1=1, $x2=2);
This commit builds on top of GH-4183 and adds IPv6 support for
policy/protocols/dns/detect-external-names.
Additionally it adds a test-case for this file testing it with mDNS
queries.
Changes during merge
- Changed the policy script to use an event handler that behaves
for like the base script: &priority=5, msg$opcode != early-out,
no record field existence checks
- Also extended dns_query_reply event with original_query param
- Removed ExtractName overload, and just use default param
* 'dns-original-query-case' of https://github.com/rvictory/zeek:
Fixed some places where tabs became spaces
Stricter checking if we have a dns field on the connection being processed
Modified the DNS protocol analyzer to add a new parameter to the dns_request event which includes the DNS query in its original case. Added a policy script that will add the original_case to the dns.log file as well. Created new btests to test both.
* All "Broxygen" usages have been replaced in
code, documentation, filenames, etc.
* Sphinx roles/directives like ":bro:see" are now ":zeek:see"
* The "--broxygen" command-line option is now "--zeexygen"
The previous method of matching queries with replies was still
unreliable in cases where the reply contains no answers. The new code
also takes extra measures to avoid pending state growing too large in
cases where the condition to match a query with a corresponding reply is
never met, but yet DNS messages continue to be exchanged over the same
connection 5-tuple (preventing cleanup of the pending state).
The scope of dns.log is now only standard queries (OPCODE == 0). Other
kinds of queries (e.g. inverse query) were not handled correctly and
could interfere with the state tracking of the default DNS scripts.
- policy/ renamed to scripts/
- By default BROPATH now contains:
- scripts/
- scripts/policy
- scripts/site
- *Nearly* all tests pass.
- All of scripts/base/ is loaded by main.cc
- Can be disabled by setting $BRO_NO_BASE_SCRIPTS
- Scripts in scripts/base/ don't use relative path loading to ease use of BRO_NO_BASE_SCRIPTS (to copy and paste that script).
- The scripts in scripts/base/protocols/ only (or soon will only) do logging and state building.
- The scripts in scripts/base/frameworks/ add functionality without causing any additional overhead.
- All "detection" activity happens through scripts in scripts/policy/.
- Communications framework modified temporarily to need an environment variable to actually enable (ENABLE_COMMUNICATION=1)
- This is so the communications framework can be loaded as part
of the base without causing trouble when it's not needed.
- This will be removed once a resolution to ticket #540 is reached.
